Great Game, however, has some minor problems

The Good
The game has excellent graphics and sound, even when up close. The AI is extremely intelligent. The enemies run away from rockets and grenades. In some cases, the enemies even kick grenades away from themselves or throw them down steep areas. The game menus are highly customizable. The game also contains a VERY useful save-game function. This game also requires strategy AND shooting. Some areas are very interesting because of this.

The Bad
The weapons are belittled and enemy abilities are exaggerated. Some enemies require multiple head shots from the mauser rifle (which in real life, will kill you in one shot even if you are wearing heavy armor). The game also contains some bugs. For example, the "oh so powerful" Super Soldier BOSS on one of the levels contains a bug. If you take a few steps back immediately after entering the room, the BOSS will remain in one spot. This makes it extremely easy to kill him.

The Bottom Line
Great game. If you like World War II type games which require strategy and shooting, this is the game for you.
